Very beautiful part of the town!! Unreal🤩

Nice for photos

Pretty historic neighborhood with government buildings. Nice place for a quiet morning stroll by the water.

This is the attractive, historical centre of Torshavn, with grass-roofed buildings built in traditional style. The headquarters of the Faroese Government is based here.

The nicest place in the whole town. A lovely spot by the shore to watch the ferries and boats come and leave.

Amazing place

(Translated by Google) In this area you can see a lot of different houses/residences (remember that people live inside the houses, so keep your distance and respect privacy), which are clustered together to protect against storms and other weather phenomena. If you are into genuine originality and historical experience, then this collection of houses is a great experience, and you will be surprised by the narrow "streets" (sometimes less than 1 meter between two houses). You can almost feel the time from the years 1600-1900... A harsh existence, but with a rich dividend - nature and freedom... (Original) I dette område kan man se en masse forskellige huse/boliger (husk at der bor mennesker inde i husene, så hold afstand og hav respekt for privatlivets fred), som er klynget sammen for at skærme for storm og andre vejr-fænomener. Er man til ægte oprindelighed og historisk oplevelse, så er denne samling af huse en stor oplevelse, og man bliver overrasket over de smalle "gader" (nogle gange under 1 meter mellem to huse). Man kan næsten mærke tiden fra år 1600-1900.... En barsk tilværelse, men med et rigt udbytte - naturen og friheden...

The Nordic House in Tórshavn offers a delightful experience even without a scheduled performance. Stepping inside, I was immediately struck by the beautiful Nordic furniture, a testament to clean lines and functional elegance. The atmosphere was wonderfully easygoing and relaxed, inviting you to linger and soak it all in. What a treat that there was no entrance fee on a day without a performance – a truly welcoming gesture. The unexpected highlight of my visit was witnessing a group breaking out into impromptu song, filling the space with a spontaneous and heartwarming melody. It truly captured the spirit of community and the arts. If you're looking for a place to appreciate lovely design and a relaxed ambiance, with the potential for serendipitous artistic moments, the Nordic House is well worth a visit.

Very pretty cultural center. The greenhouse tunnel is worth a short visit. It would be a nice place to come when there is an event because there is not much to do otherwise. There is a cafe and lots of places to sit with a nice view of the town!

It's a cultural center with a nice cafe. There isn't anything to do here, really, unless you bought a ticket for an event and, I mean, you go there for that... You can drink a coffee, and you go to your show. No other events or permanent "exhibitions" unless scheduled. Not sure if I misread their website, which is totally possible, but I definitely thought there was more about this place.

Modern art space. A great place to have a cup of coffee and some dessert.

The Nordic House in Torshavn is a cultural centre that showcases both the Faroese and Nordic cultures. Built in a Nordic tradition, the Nordic House may well look as an enchanting hill of elves. The building is made of material from all the Nordic countries, so when you enter the house, you step on Norwegian stones and the chairs that you sit in are from Finland. The wooden panels give you a feeling of deep Swedish forests, the glass and steel constructions come from Denmark, and above it all hangs the Icelandic roof construction. Last, but not least, the grass on the roof is as Faroese as it is green. This is the Nordic House of the Faroe Islands – a versatile house that is the perfect venue for a large variety of different events. They even have a great café and a large selection of Nordic newspapers. #faroeislands #streymoy #torshavn #museum #culturalcentre

Lovely architecture, worth to sneak peek even without a show. Stop by the cafe and just relax.

The architecture is spectacular and merges into the environment perfectly. Didn't know that it was built in the 1980s. Looks very modern, with green roofs!

Tórshavn is graciously compact. One day is enough to wander its turf-roofed quietude.

Cathedral of the Faroe Islands - the clock tower and spire are iconic symbols of Tórshavn, visible from much of the town and harbor. It has traditional Faroese wooden church architecture, painted white with a black roof and a characteristic blue clock tower topped with a weathercock.

We came over here after Svartafoss Waterfall. But we never went in, we just took some group photos outside of the Church which we love so much. Because we were already hungry, so after the photo section we straight away went for our food 😂

Beautiful small church in the middle of town. Some unique features I hadn't seen for the pew seating. Impressive woodwork and a large organ. It has two ships suspended from the ceiling.

The whole city Centre is charming during Christmas time. It’s very small and not active, but the atmosphere is great.

Lovely cathedral. Boats hanging from the ceiling. Doors at the end of each pew plus the distinctive balcony stood out for me.

A very beautiful church in the capital city Tórshavn. During a day trip to the capital city we just came across this church and wanted to click some photos. As we entered we got to know that there was a choir concert happening. It was very beautiful and serene to sit and listen to the group sing. The church's architecture is very beautiful. #localguides #solotravel

A 16th century fort. It has a nice lighthouse and a number of cannons given by the then King of Denmark. A really nice way to take in the sights of Torshavn.

Very nice fortress. We stopped by while we were waiting for the ferry to Suðuroy. It looks well maintained. There is a lighthouse, cannons, and some WWII guns.

A neat place to check out that offers good views of the harbor. It’s ease to access. There are some cannons and seating areas. It would be a great place to have a picnic lunch in good weather. Not a “must see” but pretty interesting nonetheless.

Basic but still interesting spot to visit for a few minutes while at the center of Torshavn. The lighthouse is particularly short compared to most others you might be used to, but the present of big canons (colonial and XX century ones) makes it exciting for kids

Old fortress and lighthouse that oversees the port of Torshavn in the Faroe Islands. Skansin is located on a hill beside the port of Tórshavn. The fort was built in 1580 by Magnus Heinason to protect against pirate raids of the town, after he himself was nearly caught up in one such raid. The fort was expanded considerably in 1780 and went through a series of rebuilds for many years afterwards. During the Second World War the fort served Britain as a military base after the British occupation of the Faroe Islands in April 1940. Two 5.5 inch guns date from the British occupation, standing along with many older Danish cannon. #faroeislands #torshavn #streymoy #lighthouse #fortress

The town fort holds some architeturala db historical importance, features cannons from more and less recent history, features the beautiful lighthouse and court place overlooking the harbor.

This is such an intriguing monument that we explored on our first night on the Faroe Islands. Wanted to use the 20 minutes I had before our dinner reservation to explore this spot which was just the perfect amount of time. Not super busy but definitely a cool location with some history behind it.

Had a cultural emersion. Fascinating. Tórshavn’s National Day (Ólavsøka) and Pride Føroyar – July 2025. The Faroese National Day, Ólavsøka (July 28–29), is Tórshavn’s biggest celebration, honoring King Olaf II. Festivities include a grand procession, the reopening of Parliament, traditional chain dancing, and rowing competitions. Locals wear national dress, sing midnight ballads, and enjoy feasts of fermented lamb and seafood. Just before Ólavsøka, Pride Føroyar (July 26–27) brings a colorful LGBTQ+ parade and cultural events to Tórshavn, promoting inclusivity. Organized by LGBT+ Føroyar, it features performances, workshops, and a joyful atmosphere. Ólavsøka Eve (July 28) Opening march, street parties. Ólavsøka Day (July 29) Parliament speech, chain dancing, midnight singing. Both events offer a unique mix of tradition and modernity, making late July an exciting time to visit the Faroe Islands. Góða Ólavsøku! (Happy Ólavsøka!)

Lovely place. Been all over the world and this is such a chilled place literally a short flight away from UK. Plenty to see and do, plenty foodie places. Cheaper than Iceland!! Oh apart from data roaming. Do not use your data roaming here, only use free wifi.

The Faroe Islands are scenically impressive, but I cannot recommend them for ethical reasons. The annual whale hunt (Grindadráp) stands in stark contrast to modern animal welfare values – including my own. As responsible travelers, we should question such practices and promote sustainable, respectful tourism. I hope for change – also in the interest of the islands' international image.

I was not very satisfied with the service. Partly it was very good, but on Saturday I wanted to go to Gjogv. The connection recommended to me was no longer correct. That tells me cost and prepared.

Faroe Islands tourism should highlight what really happens there on their cute little beaches.

Four public toilets between here and the harbor. All closed (Sunday). Very sad.

🚴🏻‍♂️🚲 There is a bike pump at the back of the place! Also you could have a chat 💬 with local representative of the tourist office to get tips & flyers/maps.

Surprisingly good, well kept, and well stocked. Though small it doesn’t feel like it’s empty or short on pieces. Entrance is not expensive and kids until 20 are free, so it’s a good option for families. There’s also a cafe and a small area for kids to do some drawing if/when bored, which is a nice touch

Well worth a drop in to see the Faroese art and sculptures in the gardens. Impressive collection of local artists highlighting the spectacular views and people of the islands. Beautiful location and well kept museum.

The gallery is definitely worth a visit. It is beautifully located in a scenic park and features an excellent exhibition of works by local artists. A very enjoyable and memorable experience.

The National Gallery of the Faroe Islands (Listasavn Føroya) is beautifully located in the Viðalundin Park of the capital city of Tórshavn and, holding the world’s largest collection of Faroese visual art, it's a very interesting place to visit that you really cannot miss. Ticket is 90 DKK per adult. The collection has many pieces of art, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, installations, and textiles. Some of the oldest artworks date back to the 1830s, while others are more recent. In the National Gallery, there's a big area where they show the permanent art collection. Step into a world where canvases burst with the breathtaking beauty of the Faroe Islands—think emerald mountains, rugged cliffs, the boundless sea, and one-of-a-kind rock formations. It's not just scenery; it's a masterpiece of the local art. #faroeislands #museum #nationalgallery #torshavn #streymoy

I recommend an hour here to enjoy essential contemporary painting and sculpture of the masters of the Faroe Islands. Attached paintings: Edward Fuglo: "Colony." Beinta av Reyni: "Memory of my Grandfather" (holding a sheep). A recent reviewer was upset about the entry fee given an exhibition space is currently closed. Please note that the permanent collection is on view, with new exhibits coming at the end of July and in August. The adult fee is only $90 FOK/DKK (about $14 USD), a true value for open minds.

Beautiful small museum. Loads of art from Mykines and really depicting life in the Faroe Islands. The importance of the sea, the whale hunting, the harsh weather, the beautiful landscapes, the midsummer sun, the sheep, the puffins, the ravens. Totally worth a visit, you can see it all in 30’ if in a hurry. Probably best to do it towards the end of the trip in the Faroes.

For a small fee, you can enter what I think is one of the best national galleries out of all the ones I’ve visited. The National Gallery of the Faroe Islands in Tórshavn excelled at showcasing some of the best pieces of art created by artists from the Faroe islands, from this century to previous ones. Friendly staff and interesting collection, I can’t fault this gallery. It's an ideal place to spend the afternoon if the Faroese weather proves to be too unsafe to see the natural sights of the islands. 5/5 gallery that’s a must-visit if you’re staying in Tórshavn!

A lovely park next to the National Gallery with winding paths, plenty of hidden nooks with benches, and a pond with lots of water fiwl.

A very nice park within the city. It was nice to see so many trees after all the grasslands.

Small little park in Torshavn. There are walking paths, statues, benches, and duck ponds to enjoy.

Cute little park with banches facing the little lake. There's ducks in the lakes.

A very nice park in Tórshavn, near the SMS Center.

Cute little park in Thorshavn, but according to Faroese standards, it's probably the biggest one. It's worth to pay a visit here since it's probably the only place in Faroe where you can wander around trees and there is not much to do in Thorshavn anyways.

Beautiful plantation, with sculptures and a duck pond. Peaceful and lovely for nature walks too 🥰

Stadium looks good from the inside. Easy to enter for some penalty and free kick practice

Quality stadium. Cheap beer. Lovely people. Needs more merchandise stores but beyond that, perfect.

Incredible. I had the chance to play for a few minutes on the field and it was thrilling

A wonderful experience in Tórshavn! A main international stage to share The 5 Great Fs: Football, Friendship, Fun, Fitness, Fighting (spirit). Waiting to see the final version of Tórsvøllur for 2021-2022. Great time. Great memories.

Tórsvøllur is newly expanded and modernized, with great facilities and scenic surroundings. While most spectators are calm, a small passionate section brings energy. The stadium offers a unique, peaceful football experience with moments of intensity. A must-visit in Tórshavn.

Wanted to buy a scarf of the Faroese National team. There's no permanent store anywhere to buy them, it's only a thing on match days. So we walked into the building, basically asking anyone until we were in the directors office being offered all sorts of merchandise still in boxes. Very nice people, cool experience and incredible hospitality towards two visitors. I'm happy I was able to buy a cool scarf as well. Stadium is also cool.

Super cool stadium! You’ll find the official shop of the Faroese football federation on the ground floor, next to the NO 12 restaurant.

I saw this place being recommended in a TV program and decided to visit here when I was in Faroe Islands. It's a very small, warm, and cozy place the moment you walk in the whole place is covered with wood it gives like a sauna setting. Its owned by a young lad pretty experienced in craft beers and he came up with all the different variations. Also in the shop is his welcoming dog which is so happy and goes around the customers for pats. I didn't know what to try so asked for some recommendations, and so after asking for my preferences he recommended me quite a few and I said probably I could only handle 2 and so he asked me to try 2 and 12. 2 is the signature and 12 is another of the lighter craft beers in the house. So had 2 and really loved how light and smooth the beers were, and he could understand my preferences well to recommend those to my liking. Was a nice place to chill but started to get more crowded and noisy so I didn't stay long finished the drinks and left. Its one of the places you must try when in Tórshavn. Saw one with the same name in Copenhagen airport not sure if it's the same?

One of very few in Tórshavn that were open on a Monday, but a good atmosphere. Mostly fellow tourists, probably because no one else was silly enough to be drinking on a Monday. Mostly imported beer but there were enough local ones to satisfy me. 12 taps (I think) , so a decent selection.

Lots of choices for craft beers but very few choices in other types of drinks. Some pub food and snacks would be nice.

The best address in Tórshavn if you want to get some tasty craft beers. Ambience, playlist and audience have been great and the staff is super friendly. Tasted som incredible beers with the Organc Brown Ale marking one of my all time favorites. If you want to get those beers in central Europe as well, you have to go to Copenhagen or other Mikkeller spots, though, as they can't export from the Faroes. I hope to get back there some time, because the bar is really one of a kind.

For food read Beer. Amazing selection of craft beers. We always come here when we pass through Torshavn.

A cozy craft beer bar in old town. Nice setting and interior that feels suitable for a small house in old town. Beer from Mikkeller and other craft breweries around the globe. Quite few guests and it seems the turnaround for draft beers is slow during the tourism low season but still one of the best craft beer bars on the Faroe Islands. A must visit if you're into beer.

We loved this place. At the heart of the old city it is rustic and charming. The later in the night it became, the more people piled in this small place for some loud and festive conversation. The beers are really good and you get a nice verity. It’s such a fun and friendly local place. We hope to return.

The public library in Tórshavn is clean, cozy and varied. In addition to a wide selection of books in Danish, English, and Faroese, the library rents out board games, offers a printing service and free wifi. It also has computers which can be used.

A fairly comfy public library with books for all ages. Also has computers for public use and a cafe on the ground floor.

Don't know much about the library itself , except that it looked good and had a nice café, but important for travelers: They have free WiFI!!

(Translated by Google) Large and beautiful library on several floors. The 3rd floor is dedicated to children and is highly recommended. There are plenty of books, a packed lunch room, a changing area and much more. On the ground floor there is a nice reading area with hot drinks at good prices. There is free wifi here. (Original) Stort og flot bibliotek i flere etager. 3. etage er dedikeret til børn, og den kan virkelig anbefales. Her er masser af bøger, madpakkerum, skifteplads og meget mere. I stueetagen er der en fint læseområde med varme drikke til gode priser. Her er gratis wifi.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, well-maintained library with cozy children's areas, both with toys and many books in several languages. (Original) Flot velholdt bibliotek med hyggelige børneområder, både med legetøj og mange bøger på flere sprog.
